A Note on Dermal Poisoning from Mevinphos and Parathion

Abstract
A 42 yr old man is presented with intermittent exposure to mevinphos resulting in abdominal discomfort, malaise, nausea, dizziness and hyperreflexia. Diagnosis is confirmed by blood and urinary assays of mevinphos metabolites and cholinesterase levels. Atropine i.m. and discontinued exposure are employed for asymptomatic recovery.
